Proof & Wood The Cabinet Barrel Proof, 56.24%

A blend of rye and bourbon. The nose is nutty with toasted almonds and a touch of hazelnut, but there’s so much more to enjoy here—butterscotch, oak, a bit of dried earth, and a hint of grape. Citrus takes over on the palate, with clementine and mandarin orange peel providing an initially sweet, smooth ride (which quickly takes a turn toward spicy). The finish adds yet another layer of flavor, thanks to the emergence of dark chocolate and espresso. (960 bottles)
